Would all say that people love to line up here (Vancouver area) more than any other city you know of?

Taylor Swift line to BUY merch started at 4am this morning

That Grey Cup FREE zipline at the convention centre had upwards of 3 hour lines

I was in Richmond Centre a couple Saturdays ago and there was a 2 hour line to BUY $500 Cadillac Fairview mall gift cards because they were giving $50 "FREE" gift cards as a perk.

yeah I think we do this alot more..

a student that stayed with us waited 9 hours in line for GA to a concert at UBC.... UBC.... there was no way it was selling out lol and it didnt

 

[puckhead]

Oh!

 

[mattola]

Oh!

i wonder how many times this person was released from the police (and no I do not blame the police for that)

 

[mattola]

For years I always looked up in the store after

 

[mattola]

Oh!

That "multiple" stabbing was one person stabbed with a minor wound and one person punched in the face .. the guy tried to steal liquor from original Joe's and then Rob a 7-11 where police shot him 7 times and global showed the shooting (Holy shit they unloaded on him)... Guy died at hospital

Social media is out of control

And that social media report of that was from news sources that I saw .. they wanted to get their info out first so they went with word of mouth

Still bad but it's not a mass stabbing

That video was nuts ... felt like the cops unloaded on him more than 7 times ... at close range

and correct me if Im wrong, the dead guy was holding the female employee at knifepoint behind the counter when they shot him. Crazy she didnt get shot even at close range

yeah thats what I saw as well. the other part was allowing the person to film it to stand so close with cops everywhere. that whole scene was nuts.

shot ten times ... would love to see the CCTV of how close she was to him

Small window, but I hit it.

I think that's where he was trying to go ... Through the barrier, ditch and hill

I don't know if you call this symmetry or just a coincidence, but that was a crash between a cement truck and a car on the Trans-Canada Highway in Victoria earlier this afternoon.
